The COVID-19 pandemic tremendously impacted the tourism industry across the country in 2020. Amid the pandemic situation, sales of recreational vehicles were derailed. However, post-pandemic, consumer interest in recreational activities witnessed an increase which in turn fueled the demand for recreational vehicles across the country.
Over the long term, The growing number of active campers is anticipated to contribute to the demand for RVs. The commercial usage of RVs is on the rise. Growth in peer-to-peer rental services is expected to increase popularity among millennials, which are increasingly seeking rental services. Furthermore, the increasing demand for road trips as a getaway from quarantine may boost market growth. The post-lockdown period is likely to witness a rise in the number of first-time buyers. Therefore, players are also coming up with new product launches in the country.

With the growing popularity of adventure camping in rural areas, people prefer to travel to the countryside, away from urbanized areas, to unwind from their hectic daily routine.
